Alex, aged 12. This is my diary of the wildlife where I live in Oxfordshire, and sometimes the places I visit. My passion is for British wildlife, especially badgers, hares and Kingfishers.
I have now stopped blogging on this account but I will leave it running.

Here are some of my favourite photos that I have taken.

Badgers at the bottom of the garden

Another evening of badger watching, this group are becoming more and more used to us. Especially a young female.
I am not sure whether these badgers are coming up from the sett in the wood or have their own sett closer to our garden.
I can hear when they arrive by the crunching of snail shells.
There are around 5 or 6 badgers in this group and at least one of them has gone up the lane towards our house. I remember last year that our front garden was dug up a few times.
As long as we stay very still the badgers are happy to feed around us.
